“In September 2000, the United Nations adopted the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) a list of eight global priorities to be accomplished by the year 2015 in order to make the world a more livable place for everyone. Goal number eight is to develop a global partnership for development. This means building links between people and institutions from all sectors of society in order to build a better world.”

“We will have time to reach the Millennium Development Goals – worldwide and in most, or even all, individual countries – but only if we break with business as usual.

It takes time to train the teachers, nurses and engineers; to build the roads, schools and hospitals; to grow the small and large businesses able to create the jobs and income needed. So we must start now. And we must more than double global development assistance over the next few years. Nothing less will help to achieve
the Goals.”
